Baby has never manifested any signs of heartworm disease.

Baby continues to live with me: however, I am moving back to N.E. the end of this month and I am praying that maybe that very special person will find a spot in their heart and home before that time arrives to adopt her. If anyone wishes to see her or visit her at my home, please call 352 633-3169. Thank you so much for continuing to be interested.
Thanks for the explanation. I hope she finds a home.
